Texas Towns Run Out of Water as Drought Takes its Toll

[Gabby Hayes]

12. Either rain or geese

The drought broke a little bit over the winter and greened up things in Texas. Scientists are not holding out much hope for the long term though. Neither are some native Texans, especially those who grew up during the 1950's Dust Bowl while listening to stories of the 1930's from their parents and grandparents. There is a sense of permanence this time around. That's to say we don't expect to get back much of what we've lost since the late 1990's in particular.

Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech U., who was featured in the clip, has been the target of threats generated by World Net Daily and George Noory, the radio host of Coast to Coast AM. Hayhoe is a prominent climate scientist and new Mom who also happens to be the wife of an evangelical church pastor in Lubbock, TX. She's an honest broker, the real deal. Unfortunately threats against her and other climate scientists in Texas are on the rise. Some of us non-scientists down here have been in direct contact with those responsible for stirring up the threats and kept a light on them. Even KlanWatch is taking an active role. Any and all help in pressuring WND, Noory and other cowards is needed, please.
